Full Notification

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office and South Lake County Fire Protection District will be conducting a communications test Wednesday, September 5th, 2018. The purpose of the test is to confirm connectivity between Sheriff’s Dispatch and the four (4) sirens installed to advise residents of an imminent hazard. Should there be an active response to local fires in progress, the test will be re-scheduled.

The four sites are in Middletown, Anderson Springs, Cobb and Loch Lomond. At about 4:00 pm Wednesday, an activation signal will be sent to each site, where personnel will confirm the unit has been activated. The unit will then be immediately shut off. A failure to activate will be noted for investigation and repair.

The sirens have been installed as one of the tools used to warn residents of the need to take further actions in the face of an emergency. We encourage residents to sign up for LakeCoAlerts & Nixle for telephone, text and e-mail alerts issued by the Sheriff’s Office at www.lakesheriff.com .

Questions about the sirens may be directed to the South Lake County Fire Protection District at 707-987-3089.
